Continuing Development

The Saint David’s baseball coaches attended the Ripken Baseball Coaches
Clinic at Hofstra University on Saturday, February 25th. The clinic was
given by former major league baseball players Bill Ripken, John Habyan,
and Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr.

Saint David's coaches spent six hours in the clinic, introducing Coaches
Learn, Imbelli, Roman, Arias, and Byrnes to
baseball the Ripken Way: Keep it Simple, Make it Fun, Celebrate the
Individual, and Explain the Why.

The coaches, who enjoyed their time at the clinic commented that, "Cal, Bill and John covered every aspect
of the game, moving through the fundamentals required for success to
the advanced drills that can give our players an edge."

Drills the coaches learned at the clinic have
already been incorporated into the baseball curriculum and will benefit
our players and their coaches throughout the season.
